It's a kid's show but Sasuke did show to be very protective of both Naruto and Sakura in the early days. Then Kishimoto decided to turn him heel at the drop of a hat and give him super emo antics. Then at the end of the show, they have a battle to the death and, once again, Khimoto decides to turn him face and he's now forgiven by everyone.
I found it more comical that Orochimatu just casually walks around free, after attempting a literal Coup and causing the death of the Hokage. And that was after years of cruel and sadistic experiments on people.
